Day1 I reached venue (LifeLong Learning Institute, Singapore) at around 10.30 am and volunteers were all set to welcome us with smile and welcome kit :) Venue was awesome with multiple conf rooms and good facilities.
Harish Pillay(Red Hat) & Damini Satya (SalesForce) Kicked off the event with Awesome Keynote with introducing FOSSASIA, stats about FOSSASIA and schedule as well. Followed by Keynote, Teo Ser Luck (Member of Parliament, Singapore) expressed his thoughts about OpenSource and how it is helping Singapore Governance and Economy. Now it was time for Diamler (Mercedes Benz) folks which was one the sponsors to Conference as well. They explained about how OpenSource is helping Mercedes to become Super Smart Car using technologies like containers, Kubernetes, OpenShift and BlockChain. Next Sponsor Keynote was by Google’s Kazunori Sato. it was about How Google Cloud is solving real life problems using AI/ML, it was quite interesting. There was Awesome Exhibition Area where all Sponsors had a booths and school students were demonstrating their exciting projects. I have written detail description of Exhibition Area at the end of this Blog. I met lots of people there including folks from platform.sh which provides PaaS platform, gstar.ai which is interesting startup which combines power of NLP (Natural Language Processing) and BlockChain. Day2 I attended talk by Jan Peuker (Google) which was about system as choreographed behaviour with Kubernetes, whereas he explained about Kubernetes works and he also talked about it’s relavance with Borg. At the end of the day, Sudhir Varma (Red Hat) about his work which is making easy Desktop Application easy with tools like DevSuite. During day 2, I met Chris from CNCF. I demoed Kedge, Kompsoe & Kubely to him. He was pretty impressed with projects. Also, I met a web developer. His perception was like, I am web developer, why should I care about containers. Then, I headed for the HonestBees Office (45 mins away from Conference venue) for Local Singapore Kubernetes Meetup. After having snacks, we started with meetup. MEETUP Seth Vargo (Google), started the first session of meetup with his talk, “Secret Management in Kubernetes using Vault” where he discussed about how we can effectively use vault for secrets in Kubernetes with cool demo. Me talked about Kedge, Kompose & My Personal project Kubely. People loved those project, there were some question as well about how we are reducing number of lines in Kedge without compromising on it’s Power. But what I understood, People are happy with Helm. Last session was by Michel Bright (Containous) about Traefik Proxy in Kubernetes. At the end, we took awesome group photo of all meetup attendees. Day3 At 12 pm, all conference attendees gathered at ground floor for group photo. Here’s one of the group photo:
